The RHIC Spin Program W. Bradford Tippens Program Manager for Medium Energy Physics The Medium Energy Program
The Medium Energy Subprogram • Facilities: • TJNAF – received CD-1 for 12 GeV Upgrade • Support Seven Laboratory Research Groups: • TJNAF • ANL: Medium Energy(TJNAF, Hermes, ATTA), HE (RHIC-spin) • BNL: RHIC-spin, LEGS • LANL: MiniBooNe, RHIC-spin • Manage ~42 University grants • ~ 75 Faculty / Staff • ~ 50 Post Docs • ~ 100 Graduate Students • ~ 60 Undergraduate Students
Medium Energy Science Program • QCD with Electron Beams: • TJNAF • LEGS expecting to complete pion production data in 2006 • MAMI • HIGS • QCD with Proton Beams: • RHIC-spin program congratulations to everyone on such a successful spin run so far! • Precision Measurements: • ATTA (charge radius of 6,8He) 0.7% determination of 6He radius • MiniBooNe (sterile neutrino) results expected this summer • PSI (muon capture) hope tocollect 1010 events by end of 2006 (1%) • TWIST (Michel parameters) first results yield 2X improvement of P

Summary • FY2006 was a difficult year, but we survived thanks to the cooperation of everyone in the community. • Conducted a review of all of the ME Lab research groups in May. This will help determine future funding decisions for these laboratory groups. • The LEGS experimental program will be ending in FY2007. • The FY2007 PB will allow the ME program to restore the RHIC-spin and JLAB effort to FY2005 levels. • The PB provides a substantial increase for the RHIC-spin BNL research group.
